Vacation Home Buyers

Because they are generally located in areas of extreme environmental conditions (salt air, snow, etc.), vacation homes are subject to more weather related wear and tear than homes in more moderate areas. Also, since these homes are usually occupied only part-time, owners need to be more vigilant about maintenance.
